    Default Jacaranda bowl.

    Neil,
    Beautiful work. Drillit.

The property is now used as a wedding reception venue that provides a spectacular purple entry when in bloom. Unfortunately during a massive storm the tree was blown over and I was given the opportunity to salvage some of the timber.

    I rough turned the piece of timber to shape and then left to dry for 2 years, but the center still seemed not completely dry. It is 460mm diameter and 90mm deep, finished to 1500 then I coated with Kunos Oil.

    Cheers
